2021 Citroen C3 Shine + Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · ML71 UAW

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in consumable upkeep. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 29,402 miles resulted in a pass but introduced advisories for both the nearside and offside front tyres. Both were noted as being worn close to the legal limit and exhibiting uneven edge wear, indicating a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that have not been addressed since the previous clean test. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,880 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 22,310 miles and the September 2025 test, the car covered 7,092 miles, representing a slight increase over the average. This low annual usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and mechanical assemblies, though the infrequent use can sometimes lead to flat spotting on tyres or degradation of rubber seals. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry to address the uneven tyre wear flagged in the 2025 record. Checking the control arm bushes, drops, and strut mounts is essential to ensure no play is causing the premature tyre degradation. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from oxidisation despite low mileage.
